=== Connecting to the SCS ===
+
The SCS has two uplinks, one is on an independent uplink from the colo's network (to allow out of band access even in case our switch is dead/unreachable), one is on our internal network:
+
* External IP: <tt>64.156.25.110</tt>
+
* Internal IP: <tt>10.0.0.220</tt>
+
Use <tt>ssh scs</tt> from a server of the cluster, or <tt>ssh scs-ext.wikimedia.org</tt> from anywhere
+
 
+
=== SCS commands ===
+
 
+
* connecting to a server in interactive mode: <tt>connect server_name</tt>
+
* escape interactive mode: Esc + A (uppercase)
+
* symlinks to the serial ports and their buffers: <tt>/lsi/ports</tt>
+
* <tt>save</tt> saves configuration changes to non-volatile memory
+
* <tt>lsp</tt> lists the serial ports and their names
+
* <tt>lsc</tt> lists active connections
+
* <tt>stty</tt> configures serial port parameters, but to make the changes permanent, <tt>/etc/rc.d/rc.serial</tt> must be edited
+
* to rename a port: <tt>stty -F /lsi/ports/port23 --name=zwinger</tt>
+
* to clear a port buffer: <tt>stty --clear -F /lsi/ports/buf_<i>name</i></tt>
+
* read chapter 9 of the manual (linked below) for more
+
 
+
The port connectors are in four chunks of 8 ports, upper and lower rows of four. In each chunk the bottom four ports are labelled 1-4 and top 5-8. Leftmost chunk is ports 1-8, then 9-16, 17-24 and 25-32:
